Haha good question.

I always designed MAP to be leaders in Command, Infantry Assault and Armour. The experience I had of PS was to actually achieve anything you had to mix in these three values.
Sure you could fly around, snipe, stealth or whatever. At the end of the day though this never really achieved anything in PS. The ultimate aim was to take bases and control sectors and this meant getting down and dirty.

The Sunderer was also the perfect tool in this. Right from the start when I ran bus services around Amerish, Oshur and Esamir it quickly became obvious I had more command ability then anyone else in the game except for AMS's. Troop transports like the Galaxy and Sunderer meant as the pilot/driver you could kidnap a squad of heavily armed people and dump them wherever you thought tactically the squad was needed.

A Sunderer also moved at the same speed as a magrider until it was change. Meaning you could run a squad inside the Sunderer behind a screen of Magrider which split and allowed you to crash into a tower or whatever and take it over.

Sunderer were also very effective tank. Two 75mm canons and a huge amount of armour made them a cheaper tank that was 90% as good :)

FJ, one thing still puzzles me. Why on earth (or Auraxis) did you guys always use the Bus? Why subject yourself to running into minefields, strikers, spitfires, trees, cliffs, warpgate pylons etc etc? At least Starwolf transported their purple behinds in a 140 kph Galaxy that cost just as much cert points and is above all, safer, faster and has inflight movies? :D

Ok try http://firejack.plus.com/~tngc/archive/ ... /index.php

May edit that link later. Going to make an archive of the old websites to see how we've progressed.

Found a copy of the MAP comics in a random backup I did of the MAP website sometime ago.. yay :D :D :D :D

Going to set up the site on my web server in a minute

aye, in PS you could pull some crazy stunts.

I wasn't good at shooting though i loved to fly over the ground into enemy bases and bump into inflantry :P and then of course find a nice place to crash-"land" :twisted:

by allicorn » Mon Dec 11, 2006 3:57 pm

Hehe, good times :-)

Check out the screenies though, we have an airborne Liberator carrying a Lightning on its back, the Galaxy that autolanded 200m up on the pinnacle of a warpgate support when the pilot went LD, and my personal favorite the Harrasser that flipped end over end having hit a Spitfire (which survived!). :-D

Thats nothing. Before they changed the Sunderer I was able to two-wheel, barrel role and even back flip the Sunderer in Warp gates :twisted:

by allicorn » Mon Dec 11, 2006 3:47 pm

Lots more general hilarity (and much excruciating bad parking) in the Starwolf screenie gallery. :-)
